THE SPORT OF FLY FISHING - Readers Cast (Michael Hanvey) - December 14, 2009
THE SPORT OF FLY FISHING
The sport of fly-fishing can do little to gain one's physique. I've yet to see one gain muscle from throwing a fly at the end of a fly rod. If he or she did, they were doing it wrong. No... This is the sport for me. I'm good for walking lazily through foggy mornings to rambling rivers and standing in the water while the fog lifts and mists fall. Today it took thirty minutes to reach the Brazos from where I parked my truck (fifteen minutes away), but while I stood and put on my fly, I listened to the small birds rustling in the brush fussing at me for invading their territory. A short time later, a Tufted Titmouse gave me a real talking to, and I smiled at the wonder of it all.
You have two choices.....
I really enjoyed your article, it reminded me of a one-panel I once read.
I fine one-panel cartoons to be very special form of humor and truth, i there is just the one panel to show something happening, and a statement under the panel with dialog that makes you want to laugh until you bust your gut!
Panel: Shows a man laying on a Psychiatrist Couch, with the Psychiatrist sitting in a chair with note book and pen at the ready, talking to the patient!
Statement underneath Panel: "You have two choices for treatment, you can do four years of weekly session here, or I can teach you how to fly fish! Both take the same amount of time, and cost is the same!
